The Cheape st Food for Pigs.

Springfield Republican.
Feeding experiments with pigs is the subject
of the July bulletin of the agricultural expert
ment station at Amherst. The conclusions
reached follows: Judging from
experience there remains but little doubt when
ever the mere cost of the feed consumed is
siderel that the diet consisting Of skim milk
and corn-meal alone, described in connection
with our second feeding experiment, has been
the cheaper It is not less clearly proved in
connection with the same series of experiments,
that the diet of skim-milk and corn meal as
carried out on that occasion has furnished
thus far the most efficient feed for raising
pigs for the home meat market; for in every
instance during four independent feeding
periments has smaller quantity of dry
matter contained in that diet sufficed to yield
given quantity of dressed pork, than in case of
other diets which contained addition of
gluten meal and wheat BRAN Although these
price and higher nutritive value, are in favor of
the skim-mlik and corn meal diet for pigs. Its
superior claim of good economy compared
with others used by us cannot be considered
established without due consideration of the
agricultural and commercial value of the
manurial refuse matter left behind in various
experiments Taxing for granted that in raising
the same kind of animals to the same weights
practically the same amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, potassa. ETC., will be retained
in the animal system. it follows that tn @ excess
of any one OF these constituents of diet
compared with another one, must count in favor
of the higher commercial value of the manurial
residue of that particular diet.
The higher value of the manure obtained in
feeding some gluten meal and wheat bran with
skim milk and corn meal. instead of skm-miik
and meal alone, amounts .35
more pound of dress ed pork than the higher
cost of the feed consumed in that connection.
